It's the end of an era...
Sep. 18th, 2006 10:57 pmI hung up my editor's hat yesterday. It's on the peg right next to my long-discarded writer's hat.
When you've stared at a paragraph for days upon days upon days and not been able to offer anything constructive, yet come back the next day to find typos/missing words/whatever... it's time to give up. There's always a nagging feeling that I'm missing something, too.
So, I'm terribly sorry if anyone was writing anything with a view to having me look at it. I'll either take an eternity, leaving you to wonder if it really is awful or not do a good job.
Last one out, turn off the lights.
